Taking my batteries out
Any special considerations as to unhooking or storing my batteries as I work on my cart?

Re: Taking my batteries out
If it is a series cart, disconnect the positive and negative main leads. If its an IQ, do the same, but also flip run/tow switch to tow.
And also make sure cart is in the off position... |

Re: Taking my batteries out
Ok, the batteries are out and on my garage floor. Is there a timeframe I need to work in to avoid them discharging and decreasing the life? I have 4X12v, so I want to make sure they last as long as possible. I dont plan on having them out more than a couple of weeks.

Re: Taking my batteries out
Some say do not set the batteries directly on the concrete floor, place a board underneath them. I know this was true years ago, but with today's batteries I am not sure if it matters.

Re: Taking my batteries out
I do not think that holds true today with the new bat cases. At least according to the bat company I got mine from.
